OK then. Now for the tricky bit. Bug 13040 (http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13040) highlights a rather knotty problem. Having mulled this over for the last few days I have come to the conclusion that we should be using equals() rather than startsWith()
My reasons for this are: - The spec says match which to my mind says equals() - It removes the need for special handling for root - It fixes bug 13040
However, changing this will break anything that assumes that the matching is performed on a startsWith() basis. This is bad. Have we ever received clarification from the spec team in this area? If not could someone point me towards someone who may be able to offer some advice.
As I see it there are three ways to deal with this: - ignore it - not an option I like - leave the code as is, closing bug 13040 as WONTFIX with an explantion as to why - make the change
Thoughts anyone?
The rest of the algorithm will do the startsWith, right ?
This is why I said it was a shortcut: it will handle the simple case where "/" is the parameter.
